Trump calls NATO “foolish”, Lebanon residents wait for ground invasion, Canadian home sales down, and more

Israel says it has killed Iran’s security chief and the head of a militia group. Iran is still attacking neighbouring countries, including via a drone sent to the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. Trump now insists the U.S. no longer needs or wants help from other countries to clear the Strait of Hormuz. But he blasted NATO allies for not stepping up.
